Speakeasy Toastmasters Mallow
Congratulations, Dierdre
Dierdre Lenihan delivered a powerful speech in the Vienna Woods hotel, Cork last Saturday night during the Division A International speech contest. Such was the calibre and content of her speech that she was declared the winner on the night and will go on to represent the Division in the District finals in Limerick on the 15th May. She will be competing against other Divisional winners from Ireland and the UK. The very best of luck to her.
And on to the meeting held last Thursday night; What is the most fascinating and useful piece of equipment in your house? Well in Mary Stack’s opinion it’s got to be the remote control. Sitting comfortably, feet up, and away she goes – spoilt for choice with 200 channels and a huge variety of programme choice. The documentaries and the health shows are particularly fascinating and educational. Did you know that you can cure hiccups with a paper bag? Fortunately, as Mary makes all the big decisions, she controls the remote and she decides whether to ‘switch or not to switch’. Mary’s speech was evaluated by Michael Walsh.
Following the speech session Eugene O’ Connell took control of the meeting with a spirited and interesting Topics session. The topics included; Beverly Cooper-Flynn – what should she do now; Your worst travel experience; Most disliked newspaper columnist; and Which professional manager would you have as manager of Speakeasy. As usual this was a most entertaining part of the evening, with plenty of participation and a wide variety of opinions aired.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, 13th May at 8:00pm and we ask everyone attending to be at The Hibernian Hotel (Chapel Lane) at 7:50 pm.
